Popcorn Hat Players Children's Theatre
Popcorn Hat Players (PHP) Children’s Theatre has been entertaining children and their families since 1993, bringing fairy tales, folk tales and fables to new audiences every year. Using creative comedy and improvisation, the Players write original adaptations and breathe new life into unforgettable stories. PHP presents 8 mainstage productions each year at Gamut Classic Theatre, and takes 4 productions on tour from rural areas to inner-city venues. The Popcorn Hat Players are consistently named “Simply the Best” Children’s Entertainment by the readers of Harrisburg Magazine, and was the only arts group named in the Top Ten Most Innovative Non-Profits in Central Pennsylvania, as determined by the Central PA Business Journal for its ground-breaking Theatre Alive! program in the inner-city schools.

With a loving nod to 80s movies, the Popcorn Hat Players take on the beloved tale by Hans Christian Andersen. It’s Duckie’s first day at a new school, and he doesn’t know where he fits in. With the help of some of his new classmates, Duckie learns that the best way to make new friends is by being kind and being yourself!
